And it would be worth noting that when media and politicians speak of "taxpayers", their tone usually makes it sound as if they do not consider themselves members of that group.

But it is also the easiest form for people to not only accept but embrace in spite of labels used consistently in media like "taxpayers", implying there are some "non-taxpayers".

Question is... what you gonna do about it.

Well... it's not called the "business cycle" by accident, is it? This pattern is documented since thousands of years ago. Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear...

Oh definitely - as long as they can get away with it, the scamming will only increase in size and intensity. At least until the only option remaining is scorched earth. We may be at that phase now. We'll find out soon enough.

I don't know... zero prosecutions after 2008 was a pretty big scam, too

#1 is much less likely to happen "organically" without #2 happening. But I root for the little guy and hope it can, else I wouldn't be here.

Hope is a powerful thing, because it inspires action in self and others.

There are only two ways any crypto "currency" "makes it" in long-term:

1. Offer something(s) so uniquely enticing to enough of world commerce that establishment is forced to adopt

2. Global establishment backs it for their own ends

No. Not enough percentage of the spectrum of humanity understand the monetary system well enough to turn the tide. Certainly not enough with the incentive to understand... not yet, at least.

lol @ companies that support commie propaganda (even unintentionally) and then panic when they finally realize that commie policies threaten their very existence

Social media isn't really social if it lacks the capacity to go globally viral

That entirely depends which "economics" you mean... Marxist? Keynsian? Georgist? Other?

Property is the thing which one creates out of raw material him or herself... or trades for. Which respects that?

Was CoinGeek London really only a few months ago?

It's still Thursday here. Damn timezones need to die.

Gorgeous!

Fear is the primary tool used by slavers, for sure. The only question now is will earthlings officially submit to slavery or will they have the courage to reject it.

As for me and my house, we reject.

The only officially dangerous virus around right now is not the one with a 99.96% survival rate, it is the mental one named fear. The former is hardly detectable, but the latter has infected billions on the planet who wear symptoms on their faces.

🤣🤣🤣

Actions speak louder than words. By their actions ye shall know them.

99.96%

Ah. 'tis also present and future in that case. Competition for scarce resources is real.

Who is "our"?

As Napoleon said... the victors write the history books.

It was a struggle to watch the first movie, I'll put it that way.

I've not read much of CS Lewis outside of Narnia (though I loved those books as a kid). I keep running into it various other works of his though so I need to pick some up. Perhaps this would be a good choice.

The flipside is... if you wish to trap (enslave) people... erase their history...
